Membership Committee
The LPPC Membership Committee is one of the most active church committees responsible for these very important goals to the church community:
- Creating a more visible presence for LPPC and our ministry in the Placitas community
- Improving visitor welcoming and follow-up processes
- Integrating new members so they become quickly active in the life and programs of the church
- Improving internal and external communications (including the church website)
- Promoting more activities and gatherings for the congregation
- Coordinating the Time and Talent commitment process on a year round basis
- Following up on inactive members
- Reviewing and updating church library and history archives and pictorial documentation
The Membership Committee also trains and oversees our wonderful volunteer Ushers and Greeters and the Visitor Hosts for each Sunday morning who watch for and introduce newcomers at each service.
We also get to plan the FUN STUFF - usually months where there aren't a lot of all-church social gatherings (Easter Brunch, enchilada dinners, etc.).
Some of these outings have been the Summer Isotopes Family Night (see photo), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner potlucks at several different homes, and small group barbecues during the summer. We also help plan the picnic for the summer Outdoor Worship Service.

Member Profiles
Beginning in November 2009, please watch the monthly LPPC Newsletter for the Member Profiles column. Our committee knows there is a rich history in our longer term members and our newer members have interesting stories as well. We hope this will help everyone get to know one another better.
The profiled member will also have photos and information on the Membership kiosk in Fellowship Hall.
LPPC Membership Committee needs your help to collect that LPPC historical documents: We are collecting any documents from church members that have relevance to our history. If you have anything at home such as letters between long-ago church members, pastors, any old programs or other paperwork that would help us preserve our past, please give to Wendy Ingram. Emmet Thorpe will copy items onto archival quality paper and they will be stored appropriately. The originals will be returned to you. Thank you for your contributions!
